Cotton Statement on the Introduction of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024

Washington, D.C.— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement after the Senate Intelligence Committee filed the Intelligence Authorization Act with a provision to cap the pay of Central Intelligence Agency employees whose work primarily focuses on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies:

“Case officers perform the most important and dangerous job at the CIA, and they shouldn’t be paid less than diversity bureaucrats. I’m pleased a bipartisan majority of the Intelligence Committee agrees. I look forward to the pay cap contained in this year’s IAA being passed into law.”
